Time to go inward

I can't believe this Blog set up. I have to sign in to my own comments in order to respond!
Th Holidays have been quite calm this year. So appreciated! Lots of entertaining and parties to go to. The last minute parties are always the best. Especiallly when they are not at my house. Don't get me wrong, I love to be the hostess , but it is also nice not to be. New Years will also be calm and low key. I guess that's OK. What else would I want? Maybe........ rowdy, darn right out of control situations that we could talk about for years to come? I think I will just let the night roll out as it may and just be a quiet part of it.
I look forward to thing settling down. I am ready to go inward for a while.
*********************************************
It's time to go inward take a look at myself
Time to make the most of the time that I've got left
Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel

Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid
To stare down the barrel of the choices I have made
The ghost of bad decisions make mountains out of everything I feel

Outside my window the wind weaves a path through the trees
The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall on the leaves

It's time to go inward
I don't know if I can do it after all that I've become
I've been a fool for money but it's vanity that always leaves me flat

It's time to go inward man I hope I have the nerve
To take an inventory of the causes that I serve
They say a man without a conscience is like a man without a country
or something like that

It's time to go inward time to be still
If I don't do it now I don't believe I ever will
My mind is like a chatterbox whose noise pollutes the pathways
to my soul

Time to go inward time to get a grip
Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip
I'm all out of excuses for the way I've let my choices take a toll

Jesus and Buddah and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew
Do unto other the things you want done unto you

Time to go inward take a look at me
Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see
Try to solve the riddle of what it is I have to offer to this world
~ Rodney Crowell "Fate's Right Hand"

Where did you find that song?????

I think winter is made for turning inward. Foggy, cool, snow-melting days just don't hold a whole lot of attraction.

This was one of the albums Tom wanted or Christmas. Tom like the way he plays guitar. I'm in it for the lyrics as usual.
